Today, we're stacking every draft class from worst to first. We start at the bottom, where a few front offices clearly missed the mark, and work our way up through some c onfusing hauls. As we climb the list, things get a little more interesting — teams that didn’t crush it, but might’ve found a sleeper or two if things break their way. Around the halfway mark, we start seeing real upside: smart swings, strong fits, and the kind of draft classes that could quietly set up a playoff push. Then it’s into the top tier — draft classes loaded with difference-makers, blue-chip talents, and bold moves that could change the direction of entire franchises. And finally, we’ll reveal the three best draft classes of the year — the ones that crushed it from top to bottom and could define the league for years to come.
